21. They'll Be Jealous To Death

I was at Simon’s office with the other boys for a meeting about our tour. Suddenly I got a text from Maria and we started texting to each other. I felt my cheeks turning red and I let out a smirk. Simon and Paul, our managers, saw it and asked me why I was so happy.

“Is it because of your girlfriend?”

“Oh yeah, Harry and his new giiirlfriend!” The boys teased me.

I quickly explained them the whole story- I even showed them a picture of her, and the smile and congratulations at the start disappeared. “And you’re just gonna tell the whole world that you suddenly have a girlfriend?” asked Simon.

“Well, it’s not really sudden…”

Paul cut me off: “What about your fans?”

“Don’t they want me happy?”

“They’ll be jealous to death!”

“Harry” Simon stood up and came towards me “For yours and Maria’s good, for your relationship’s good, I think it’s better to introduce her to people like your long time best friend, like you could go together for a walk, do a video together without kissing and anything like that, which could reveal that you’re together, and if the fans like her you can publish your now secret relationship.”

“I think it’s a good idea and I got a really good feeling about it” said Paul.

I looked angrily at the wall, not talking. Maybe they’re right. I wouldn’t want Maria to be hurt by those terrible comments. She’s not a top-model, fans are gonna like her. I love both of them, I don't want to be hurt.

“Okay” I said quietly. “I’ll tell her” I said unsure. I don’t know how long we can keep our relationship secret though.

*MARIA’S P.O.V.*

It was about 4 o’clock in the afternoon and Harry called me.

“Hey babe, what’s up?”

“Hey cookie, I just called to say I looove you” he sang Stevie Wonder.

“Hahaha, really?” I said laughing.

“Well, actually I wanna talk to you about something immediately.”

“Aww, so you didn’t call me to say that you love me?” I asked him in a sad-joking tone.

“Haha, well for that too. So can I come to your house, like, now?”

“Yeah, why not?”

“Great, because I’m on my way. Love ya!”

“Love you too”

In about some minutes later, the bell rang. I went towards the door to open it and Harry was there, he said a quick “Hi” and he grabbed my hand and pulled me in the house, closing the door behind him. He then grabbed me by the waist and kissed me passionately.

“Missed you” he whispered after THAT.

“What just happened?” I said, not able to stand on my feet.

“I need to talk to you.” He told me seriously.

We sat on the couch and he told me everything.

“I..I see. I don’t have a problem!” I said calmly.

“Really?”

“Yeah, why not? It will be a bit difficult, but OK. I’ll do it for you!”
